Available in your local Co-Op:

2016 Chateau Dasvin-Bel-Air, Haut-Médoc



13.5% ABV £12.50 a bottle.


I'm becoming rather partial to this wine - it almost replaces the 2007 Chateau Le Boscq in my affection.

As you know, I'm rather a Rioja fanatic but tomorrow is my wedding anniversary and to treat the rather mad woman who married me I will be getting fillet steak with all the trimmings, the butchers is a stone's throw from the Co-Op, so I will try and seek that one out. Thanks Barry!

This one was enjoyed at the weekend with some steaks.

Good stuff, mate. A rather fine and renowned producer! I'm also a fan of Ventoux. That one should've been a nice example

Did you get to Lidl to pick up that Barolo and Squinzano I recommended?

Marco.

Happy Anniversary for tomorrow, Alex. Hope you guys have a nice time!

The Médoc will go very well with the steak and should be as full-bodied as a good Rioja.

I will get to Lidl Marco, but trying to keep my queuing to a minimum at the moment.

Marco, can you post details of the two wines again please can’t find the original post.

No worries, dude. Here ya go... Barolo DOCG:

https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/p/wines/barolo-docg/p12047

Squinzano Rosso Riserva, from Puglia:

https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/p/red-wine...riserva/p30851

If your store has the same layout as ours, the Barolo, for some strange reason, will be located in the first main section of wine (where all the 'cheapy' stuff usually is), and the Squinzano will be in the 'posh section' inside the wooden crates nearest the checkouts.

I'll give you another couple of reccos too, which are very good indeed.... This is a really nice Côtes du Rhône (also should be located in the 'posh section'):

https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/p/red-wine...o-rhone/p30850

As is this Sicilian red (gorgeously smooth and full-bodied), again should be located in the 'posh section':

Are you going today?

Unfortunately none of the above are in the local store.

[Marco]

Jeez, that's a bit shit. Did you go along or just look up stock online?

Has anyone else tried this :



I do like apple flavoured drinks, i don't particularly like JD but i thought i'd give it a go, in my opinion it's at best OK, I really wish i'd gone with the bottle of single malt i was looking at before i spotted this though
